What difference does it make if it's gas or electric? If its a waste of energy to drive a ICEV truck with an empty bed except 3 times a year, then it wasteful to drive an electric truck just the same if it's empty except 3 times a year.

Just leave people alone and stop trying to control them. JFC.
Well the easy answer is efficiency. One is more efficient than the other. And only weighs as much as a Camry. And doesn’t have blind spots as big as entire cars.

I’m not trying to control anyone. I thought this was all obvious

it’s funny that he said if he could get car seats into a Mack, that’s what he would get…he’s making a not so subtle point.
His dream truck is out there. Took this photo a while back of someone in town that drives this monster.

It's an F650 pickup truck.

Then we all should drive the electric Fiat 500e? Or maybe mandate the Bolt? Both are small cars with 125 MPGe or above.

E90, if you want to drive a Fiat 500e, go for it! I’ve driven one, and they’re surprisingly fun. Bit too range limited for my liking though.

If you want to keep going with false equivalences instead of having a nuanced conversation though, I’ll probably bow out.

So how about people who drive Ferraris? Completely pointless cars when efficiency is considered.

He could probably get 3 car seats in the second row. Would need some righteous power running boards to drop low enough for kiddos, I’d think? Powerstep probably makes some…

Few Ferrari owners drive them as a daily driver.
Part of the point here is many of us are choosing the slate because it isn't a 4 door truck with a hood at least 4 feet off the ground. The slate is light enough and efficient enough to actually be a reasonable daily driver. If I was given a newer ICE pickup truck, I'd be looking at what I could get selling it or trading it in.
